When 0.514 g of biphenyl (C12H10) undergoes combustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 25.8 C to 29.4 C. Find ⌂E rxn for the combustion of biphenyl in kJ/mol biphenyl. The heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter, determined in a separate experiment, is 5.86 kJ/ C.
<span>The answer is - 6.30 * 10^3 kJ/mol

Answer:
NO2- is the reducing agent.
Cr2O7_2- is the oxidizing agent.
H+ is neither
Explanation:
Reduction is the gain in electron. A chemical specie that undergoes reduction is called the oxidizing agent.
Oxidation is simply the loss in electrons. A chemical specie that undergoes oxidation is called the reducing agent.
Let us look at the species.
The first specie is the NO2-. In this specie, the oxidation number of nitrogen changed from +3 to +5 in NO3-. Thus we can see that there is more loss of electron to have caused an increase in the oxidation number positively. This shows an oxidation. Hence, NO2- is the reducing agent.
Let us look at the chromium. We can see that the oxidation number of chromium changed from +7 to +3.
Now we can see that it is a decrease and hence, it is a gain of electron and thus it is reduction. This means the first chromium specie is the oxidizing agent.
The hydrogen ion is simply placed there to balance the ions and hence it is neither the oxidizing nor the reducing agent.
The group is might be labeled as VIIB or VIIA.
Answer:
Explanation:
Moles of
= 1 mole
Moles of
= 1 mole
Volume of solution = 1 L
Initial concentration of
= 1 M
Initial concentration of
= 1 M
The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

Initial conc. 1 M 0M 1 M
At eqm. conc. (1-2x) M (2x) M (1+x) M
The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,
![K_c=\frac{[NO]^2[Cl_2]}{[NOCl]^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_c%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BNO%5D%5E2%5BCl_2%5D%7D%7B%5BNOCl%5D%5E2%7D)
The
= 
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

By solving the term 'x', we get :

Concentration of
at equilibrium= (2x) M =
